1. Executive summary

1.1. Background

The present multi annual Rulemaking Programme is developed after the recommendation from the Agency’s Management Board adopted at its meeting in September 2008. This recommendation was adopted in response to an evaluation in accordance with Article 51 of Regulation (EC) 1592/20021. In the recommendation the Agency was advised to establish a 3-year programme, which is consistent with available resources and is co-ordinated with the European Commission, AGNA and SSCC. Following this recommendation the Rulemaking Directorate initiated the preparation of a 4-year Rulemaking Programme encompassing the period 2009-2012. This is one year more than originally requested (includes the year 2012) because of the activities and the start of the 1st and 2nd extension. An evaluation of the current and future human resources was performed in support of the planning. The Management Board, AGNA, SSCC and the European Commission were consulted on the predecessor planning documents fed into this 4-year Rulemaking Programme (i.e. the former 2009 Rulemaking Plan and 2009-2012 Advance Planning). The former planning documents were used as the framework in which the draft 4-year Rulemaking Programme 2009-2012 was developed for the production of rules. In the prioritisation of the tasks included in the present programme the following has been taken into account:

• inputs from stakeholders (Management Board, AGNA, SSCC and the European Commission); • the legislative obligations of the Agency in respect to the 1st and 2nd extension of its remit; • the results from the existing pre-Regulatory Impact Assessments.

The planning for 2009 should therefore be considered closed; the planning for 2010-2012 is subject to further consultation with stakeholders in the first quarters of 2009.

1.2. Areas of activities In support of the 4-year planning the Rulemaking Directorate identified for the first time all its areas of activities. 8 main areas of activities were identified, as follows:

A. Production of rules B. Support to rules C. ICAO D. External relations E. Analysis/ research

1 Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 July 2002 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and

establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency (OJ L 240, 7.9.2002, p.1). Regulation repealed by Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (OJ L 79, 19.03.2008, p. 1)


F. Administration G. New developments H. Handling of exemption

A detailed list of these areas of activities is given in Annex 1. For each area of activity the actions, deliverables and the average workload is shown.

1.4. Content The present 4-year Rulemaking Programme contains tasks that the Rulemaking Directorate is planning to work on in 2009-2012. The plan provides detailed insight into the 2009 activities and shows the Rulemaking Directorate commitment for this year. The planning accuracy for the subsequent years goes down gradually reaching 20% uncertainty in 2012. The planning of the 2010-2012 tasks is subject to changes depending on the availability of resources and budget. Emerging priorities and urgent tasks have also to be taken into account. This could lead to a change of the priorities in the year (a task will have to be removed to take on a new one). The present 4-year Rulemaking Programme will be reviewed annually. The tasks in the plan are shown per field (Environmental Protection, Flight Standards, Product Safety and ATM/Air Navigation Systems) and include tasks leading to:

Opinions of the Agency on amendments of the Basic Regulation and its Implementing Rules; and Decisions of the Executive Director of the Agency issuing certifications specifications, including airworthiness codes and

acceptable means of compliance, as well as guidance material, it recommends to be used to ensure compliance with the Basic Regulation and its Implementing Rules.

For these tasks the estimated quarter of commencement and delivery is indicated. When the deliverable is a decision2 linked to the formal adoption of an opinion3 through the appropriate legislative process such information is only indicative as the outcome of the legislative process cannot be precisely evaluated. Annex 2 contains a list of inventory tasks, on which the Rulemaking Directorate cannot initiate work with the currently available resources. The inventory tasks are shown per field (Environmental Protection, Flight Standards, Product Safety and ATM/Air Navigation Systems).
